Life is all about growth and up gradation from previous position. Education is one of the important parts of a person's life. His conspiracy theories, unkempt yard, and electric-guitar renditions of the "Star-Spangled Banner" don't sit well with his patriotic neighbor, Sarge, but despite their frequent disagreements, they can't live without one another. Whewell thought that it was plausible that scientists could create one or several hypotheses to explain the same class of facts with a known law, adjusting the hypotheses to new circumstances to account for them as well. What Whewell considers implausible is for a scientist to use a hypothesis to phenomenally and/or causally explain one class of facts and to stumble upon the law operating in an entirely different class. Newton’s inverse square law of gravitation was able to explain and connect a variety of seemingly unrelated classes of facts: the orbits of the moon and the planets around the sun, Kepler’s phenomenal laws of elliptical planetary motions and the precession of the equinoxes (NOR, 88). His theory could also explain the relative weights of objects on Earth; it made improvements on projectile trajectory calculations; it could explain tidal wave motions to some degree; lastly, it connected Kepler’s laws of planetary motion with Galileo’s (phenomenal) law of falling bodies through the unifying cause of universal gravitation.
